Trucker Shoots Self Before Roadside Pot Bust

I can only see the Department of Punishment spinning this story as how Drugs are dangerous and he knew what he was doing was wrong, But they are glad that that this "Shipment" did not make it's way onto our streets. And then they will most likily give some street price estimate $$ to make him look more like a "Drug Mule"

Instead of saying that Mr. Burks had Cannabis and knew the United States/Law Enforcements steep and out of control drug laws and penalities.

So insead of being arrested, held in jail, losing his job, losing his truck, losing his way of making money, losing his CDL license, paying/posting Bonds/Bail, losing his house/home/family/freedom/sanity, Having a Felony Record following him where ever he goes for the rest of his life inpeading him from having another life after this, Having all of this in mind Mr Burks choose Suicide and took his own life.

After this the Cops will most likily go and chew on some Tobacco dip and drink some healthy Alcohol.
